Xterra TR600 Treadmill Review

EXPERT REVIEW

The most compelling model of the Xterra lineup and if you want a sub $1,000 treadmill you might put this one on your list. The only shortcoming is it doesn?t contain something like iFit so even though you may be getting a new treadmill with the TR600, you won?t be getting the latest electronic features. Although we hit Xterra's factory Dyaco for being behind the times in regard to the latest technology, the one thing they get right is a reliably built machine at a value price and the new TR600 is no exception to this rule. The model includes upgrades in the packaging and design of the machine while putting enough quality parts in the right areas that make us confident that this machine will do well for its intended audience. To us, if you are a walker and looking for a $1,000 treadmill for regular use, this is a decent option on the market today.

General Information

This is a brand sold at Costco, online and in sporting goods stores and made by Dyaco International who also produces the Sole treadmills as well as their own Spirit brand. They are known for product innovation. Their treadmills are typically found in the mid-price ranges but Xterra is more of Dyaco?s mass market brand.

Quality / Philosophy

Decent parts combined with a value price makes Xterra worth looking at if you are in the market for a mid-range treadmill. These face heavy competition from Dyaco?s other brands, as well as Icon and Johnson.

Outlook

Dyaco International has wanted to be a bigger player in the US market and maybe Xterra will be the way for them to get it done. They are certainly getting the distribution to have an opportunity to do so, but only time will tell. Dyaco has been good with product support so we would expect the same for the Xterra brand.
